The Bottom Line	Despite a few shortcomings, the Synology DiskStation DS411slim makes a worthy upgrade from its processor, the best-of-its-time DS409slim.	Synology DiskStation DS412+ makes an excellent NAS server for advanced home and small-office networks.	The DiskStation DS1511+ is arguably the best five-bay NAS server on the market for both home and office environments. Novice and home users, however, might be intimidated by its setup software and the number of features it has to offer.	The Synology DiskStation DS213Air is a great network storage device for home users, especially those who also want to extend their Wi-Fi network.	The QNAP TS-412 makes a very good NAS server for environments where advanced network storage is needed.
